Spiritual Books, Movies, and Media

I have two bookshelves full of Spiritual Books, and let’s not mention my Kindle  – so spiritual books, movies and media are a big part of my spiritual practice on the journey.

When I find a book, movie, or some other kind of media (like a meditation or app) that I really resonate with, I’ll review it here.

Reviews and recommendations of books, films, apps, and meditations that inspire your spiritual growth. Find honest reflections and resources across topics like Akashic Records, energy work, intuition, and mediumship.

walking in grace with grief

Walking in Grace with Grief

Della asked me to review her book Walking in Grace with Grief: Meditations for Healing After Loss since she felt some resonance with other posts and information I share on this site about connecting with our loved ones.

Della's son Rick passed when he lost control of his car on a mountain road near their family cabin.

What makes this book so different is Della's approach to dealing with the loss of a Loved One and how she chose to move through the stages of grief - walking in Grace indeed.

Jersey Yogi by Jim Starr – book review by Sarah at Mom On A Spiritual Journey

When I was approached to review this book and visited Jim's site...I had a great feeling about reading this book partly because Jim's writings made me laugh!Like many people on the spiritual path, one day Jim found himself facing something he did not want to accept. During a handball game, he badly injured his back and found himself unable to continue playing. Up until that point an extremely competitive player...he tried to continue but was ultimately in too much pain to do so.

Through synchronicity he finds himself accepting a Rolfing session to help with the back pain and afterward is "walking on air".

Now the Jersey Yogi starts his Journey in earnest as he connects deeply with an Indian Guru, becomes part of Ashram life and shifts his vibration as he gives up drinking alcohol and eating meat.

Help stop bullying

Help stop bullying with this summer read – Larger-than-life Lara by Dandi Mackall

In Larger-Than-Life Lara by Dandi Mackall, Lara is truly larger than life - in some unexpected ways.

She is an overweight child and is ridiculed for this, yet she has special talents which finally open up the children's hearts in the school where she starts over (again).

We get the impression from the story that she has moved from school to school already.

Lara's story is told by another classmate, Laney Grafton who is initially relieved when Lara turns up since Laney as up until this point been the class kicking post for anyone with a bullying disposition...Laney realizes after the first 3 days of Lara's school attendance that she has not been kicked, pushed or called names.

Both my girls read this book and suggested I read it too.  In fact, they were insistent!

It's an easy read for adults and children alike and is a great way to begin to understand the insidious nature of bullying from a child's perspective.

Recipes for a Sacred Life

Recipes For A Sacred Life | A Book Review by Mom On A Spiritual Journey

Have you ever wondered who wrote that popular poem The Desiderata?

It's that poem that starts..

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons...

You may have seen it printed somewhere or sown as an embroidered piece at your auntie's house or granny's house.

In Rivvy Neshama's book Recipes for a Sacred Life, you can dip in and find out who really wrote that poem...plus study the full poem yourself and gain some peace from it.  The story of who really wrote The Desiderata is quite surprising.
